Common mistakes of cogent pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "co-GENT" [kəʊˈdʒɛnt]. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, as in "CO-gent" [ˈkoʊ.dʒənt].
- Vowel confusion: The first vowel sound may be pronounced as "a" instead of "o", leading to "cah-gent". Tip: Focus on the "o" sound, which should sound like "oh" in "go".
- Dropping the final "t": Some speakers may omit the final "t" sound, pronouncing it as "cog-en". Tip: Ensure you articulate the final "t" clearly, as in "cogent" [ˈkoʊ.dʒənt].
- Mispronouncing the "g": A common mistake is pronouncing "g" as a hard "g", resulting in "cog-ent". Tip: Use the soft "g" sound, as in "gem", to pronounce "cogent" correctly.
- Incorrect syllable division: Some may pronounce it as a three-syllable word, saying "co-gen-t". Tip: Remember that "cogent" has only two syllables: "CO-gent" [ˈkoʊ.dʒənt].
